Estimation180
Estimation180 is great for warm ups but even better for getting students to practice predicting their answer which allows them to decide if their answer they calculate makes sense. 
Here is an example:

Engaging Math Problems vs. Standard Math Problems
3-Act Math Problems
Original concept from Dan Meyer – Read about it – The Three Acts of a Mathematical Story
Here is a standard Math problem from grade 9
A water balloon is filled at a rate of 0.22L/s If a standard balloon will hold about 14L of water, how long will it take until it bursts?
Here is the 3-Act Math Approach
Act 1: The Water Balloon
Did you wonder when the balloon will blow? Give an answer too high, too low, just right.

Whatcha Thinking!!
We created a bank of 3-act math problems to use in your grade 9 applied class. The website is designed for student use.
Direct your students to the Whatcha Thinking site.
